Hi All
I have a data in column and it is not in proper order like "-" is added in the numbers i want to remove that and want only numbers.
So how could i get that pls provide help.

If you just want to remove it,
you can write something like:
purgechar( Field,'-') as Field1
to remove - from your texto
or
left( Field, len(Field)-1) as Field1
to get all the characters at the left (except the last one)

Well:
replace(Field,'-','') as Field
If you have something like Barcelona - Real Madrid then use:
subfield(Field,'-',1) as Field1
subfield(Field,'-',2) as Field2
If you just want to remove it,
you can write something like:
purgechar( Field,'-') as Field1
to remove - from your texto
or
left( Field, len(Field)-1) as Field1
to get all the characters at the left (except the last one)

Hi, Do I have to put this in the script file and reload?
Yes, that would be part of your load script,
lets say that you code is:
load a, b, c from abc.xls; (just an example.. you actually need more paramenters, right ?)
you can change it to:
load a, b,
purgechar( c,'-') as c
from abc.xls ;
Thanks Erich
